“David Code’s book provides a win-win solution for the challenges facing today’s families. Code makes a compelling argument that putting your marriage first benefits both parents and their children. He explains why good marriages produce good kids, and provides helpful advice for building a strong marriage. I hope his book enjoys a wide readership.”




Every parent wants their child to be happy. But today many couples go too far, letting everything revolve around their kids. This approach hurts both the children and the marriage.
